[Bf-gamedev] PBR Rendering in the Viewport

[Crocadillian]

Thanks for emailing this, and thanks for the developer for showing this off.  I was thinking about this today with the new GSoC paint tools, but I didn't expect to see anything for a long while.  It looks fantastic o_o.

Even 2 months ago I couldn't bake meshes reliably in Blender.  Now we have paint and sculpt improvements that have made Blender an excellent all around tool for game art (or at least the only tool that does it all).  However we're still sort of behind the curve on materials, and I'm unable to really do any texturing work in Blender because of the lack of a rendering mode that is good for PBR.  I do all of my texturing in Substance Designer / Painter because of this.  For modern engines (UE4, Unity 5, CryEngine) PBR is the default rendering mode, so it would be nice to be able to work with PBR style materials right in Blender like you can in Maya or Substance or DDO/NDO. This way I would not have to use a 3rd party app to view / texture my models.
